Brielle's Equipment

The non-invasive CoughAssist safely and effectively clears retained broncho-pulmonary secretions, reducing the risk of respiratory complications. The CoughAssist achieves this by gradually applying a positive pressure to the airway, and then rapidly shifts to negative pressure. The rapid shift in pressure produces a high expiratory flow from the lungs, simulating a cough.

Brooke and Brielle have both been diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type II. There is no cure for this disease but the National Institute of Health believes a cure can be found within the next 5 years with proper funding.

Our family has created this page to inform you about the disease, spread awareness and give updates about our life with SMA.
